Problema Solution
A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 50 feet. if it rebounds aprroximately 2/3 the distance after each fall use an infinite geometric series to appromimate the total distance the ball travels
Answer provided by our tutors
Here first term of gerometric series= a = 50 feet and common ratio=r=2/3
So, Sum of geometric series= a/(1-r)=50/(1-2/3)=50/(1/3)=150
total distance the ball travels= 150 feet
